Tech Socials

Find others. Just. Like. You. People who love technology. People who love people. Our down-to-earth Tech Socials run every 1-2 months in cities all over the planet and are continually growing. Developers, engineers, designers, product managers, and others ‘into’ technology from all walks of life come to our relaxed, agenda-free tech events to meet, chat, learn, and make new friends.

We were really happy with our employer experience at the job fair in Toronto and have even gone forward with formal interviews for a variety of our open positions with the candidates we met. Attending the event gave us the opportunity to not only meet qualified candidates, but tell prospective jobseekers about what we do and how they might best
fit into our corporate culture. We are definitely looking forward to
attending another HackerNest event in future.

Facebook is proud to have been the presenting sponsor of DementiaHack 2015. It was an honor and a privilege for me, as Chair, to have helped guide the event towards such a positive outcome. Anyone can run a hack event, but it is an entirely different thing to produce the world’s foremost dementia hackathon, which is why we chose to partner with HackerNest.
